Chapter 132: Yuzhou Banquet
Under the escort of the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion, Lan Ziyi and Xie Xuanming came to the mansion with a smile and a smile.
After arriving at the mansion, Xie Xuanming and Xiong Jingzong said goodbye to Lan Ziyi and were preparing to enter the mansion to entertain Lan Ziyi.
After the soldiers of the Jihu battalion came to the palace, they scattered and returned to the camp.
Tao Zhutu stood beside Lan Ziyi, and after reading Xie Xuanming's appearance, he said unconvinced:
"Obviously we are the Lord, why is it his turn to entertain us?"
ζ‘ζ΅ιΉΏ says:
"The grain is in the hands of others, the soldiers are in the hands of others, and the transposition of the host and guest is a foregone conclusion, so there is no need to talk about these anymore."
Tao Zhuhu approached Lan Ziyi and asked:
"This rice is too hard, I'm afraid it will swallow people, I think we'd better forget it."
Lan Ziyi didn't answer, and behind him, Qiu Xiao stepped forward and said:
"Beyond the courtyard wall is the Jihu Battalion, General Tao still can't believe Wei Qionglou.
If you don't go in today, all the anger you fought over just now will be discharged. β
Tao Zhuhu thought about it, turned around and replied:
"I can trust the Jihu Battalion, but compared to the forbidden army in the city, it is outnumbered, how can I not worry."
At this time, Qiu Wenruo took a step forward and said:
"Commander of the First Army of Weihou, Xie Xuanming must have a basis if he wants to take it,
With Wei Hou's military exploits, only the so-called excuse of abandoning the army and fleeing can still be touched, but this excuse has been refuted by Wei Hou just now.
Now Xie Xuanming has no excuse for wanting to arrest people, and he doesn't dare to force it, otherwise why bother talking nonsense just now, with enough people he brought to crush us.
Today's meal is of course dangerous, but it is also an opportunity, and I ask Wei Hou to consider it. β
Lan Ziyi listened to everyone silently, slowly raised his head while listening, looked at the gate of the government in front of him, and only felt that the upper beam and the lower ridge were like a tiger's mouth, and the road was quiet like a throat.
Then Lan Ziyi sighed softly and said:
"Measure him Xie Xuanming has the heart of a thief and the courage of a thief, let's go and have a good meal today."
After that, he lifted his placket and strode into the palace.
Behind him, the Tao brothers and the Qiu family father and son glanced at each other, and they all followed Lan Ziyi into the mansion together.
Under the leadership of the capital garrison, Lan Ziyi and the others bypassed the lobby in front of the trial and came to the back hall.
Xie Xuanming and Xiong Jingzong were already seated, and there was a table full of banquets in front of them, and Qi Rongxun and Wei Qionglou were sitting next to them.
Seeing Wei Qionglou here, Lan Ziyi's heart was somewhat stable,
Seeing Lan Ziyi come in, Qi Rongxun, who was sitting on one side, blushed and twisted his head to the side in shame, while Wei Qionglou quickly got up and wanted to give Lan Ziyi a seat.
Lan Ziyi stepped forward and pressed Wei Qionglou, and sat down under Wei Qionglou, leaving the peach and tiger to sit under Lan Ziyi in turn.
After everyone was seated, Xie Xuanming raised his glass and said:
"The lower officials are not talented, and the friendship of the landlord is a little bit, please forgive me for not being well entertained."
Lan Ziyi listened to Xie Xuanming's words, smiled, took the wine glass in his hand and played with it gently, and said:
"I am the commander of the first army, stationed in Yuzhou, Xie Langzhong sent food here and should be greeted by me with a banquet, why is it now Langzhong to welcome me?"
Xie Xuanming saw that Lan Ziyi didn't raise a glass, so he also put down the wine glass, looked at Lan Ziyi with the corners of his mouth raised, and said:
"The army gathered, come here to quell the rebellion, according to the custom, the civilian officials should go out of the city to work the army, the local state government slacked off this matter, failed to hold a banquet for the marquis, and now the highest official position in Yuzhou City is me and Lord Xiong, and the banquet is reasonable."
Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, raised his wine glass and drank it all,
Lan Ziyi has been sleeping in the open for several days, and when he saw this table full of delicacies, he was not polite, he raised his chopsticks and filled his plate with vegetables, and while beckoning his own people who came with him to hurry up, he tore off a chicken thigh and said to Xie Xuanming with a big mouthful:
"That's the matter of the magistrate, Xie Langzhong not only lowered his identity by doing this, but also overstepped his authority. I don't think it makes sense at all. β
Xie Xuanming replied with a smile:
"I just did my duty to entertain Wei Hou, did I dismiss Wei Hou's position as the head coach, Wei Hou didn't have to react too much.
Besides, even if Wei Hou wants to entertain me, do you have any food to take out? β
While Xie Xuanming was speaking, Lan Ziyi was feasting on the table, and he didn't care about Xie Xuanming's use of grain and grass to press him, and after Xie Xuanming finished speaking, Lan Ziyi raised his head and said:
"In that case, Xie Langzhong will return the forbidden army to me."
Xie Xuanming asked puzzledly:
"Why did Wei Hou say this? The forbidden army has always been commanded by Qi Hou and Wei Hou, what is there to not pay back? β
Lan Ziyi asked with a smile:
"In that case, why did Xie Langzhong drive the general I appointed out of the barracks?"
Xie Xuanming ate some dishes and said:
"Wei Hou just said that the Quartet Military Town must not interfere with the forbidden army, and I am just abiding by the laws of the ancestors."
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"Then why did Xie Langzhong arrange for his subordinate officers to enter the camp and lead the army?"
Xie Xuanming replied:
"Emperor Gaozu's posthumous training, civil officials can govern the army, military attaches are not allowed to interfere in politics, there is no master in the army, I have to do it for me, and the people who enter the camp are all military officials, and it doesn't hurt to lead the troops."
ε °εδΉ says:
"It's true that civilian officials join the army, but Xie Langzhong just came to deliver food, what qualifications do you have to change personnel?"
Xie Xuanming replied:
"There is a plan in the decree."
Hearing the word holy decree, Lan Ziyi looked up at Xuanming for a while, and then said:
"I haven't answered yet."
Xie Xuanming smiled and said:
"Wei Hou doubts me? Then let Wei Hou see it clearly. β
After saying that, he signaled to the people behind him, and after a while, a garrison came with a bright yellow sealed box.
Xie Xuanming got up and took the sealed box, took out the Huang Bang inside, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Lan Ziyidao:
"It's already been announced once, so there's no need to announce it again, Wei Hou can take a closer look."
Lan Ziyi hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground to receive the holy decree, and thanked the emperor.
When I opened it, the holy decree was to let Xie Xuanming and Xiong Jingzong comfort the former army, but it was also written in the middle that the former army was lost, no one allocated it, and the two could gain personnel as appropriate.
Lan Ziyi frowned slightly when he looked at the holy decree, got up and returned the holy decree to Xie Xuanming.
Xie Xuanming took the holy decree, put it in the box, and said with a smile:
"Wei Hou can see clearly."
Lan Ziyi returned to his seat, continued to eat vegetables, and said:
"The Holy Decree said that the two adults should add personnel as appropriate, but it did not say that the two commanded the whole army."
Xie Xuanming says:
"Wei Hou has always been the commander of the army, and I have never interfered with Wei Hou commanding the whole army."
ε °εδΉ says:
"In that case, why was I stopped entering the camp today? Your subordinates won't listen to me? β
Xie Xuanming smiled:
"That is, it doesn't hurt for the Marquis to command himself, but the emperor is incompetent, how can I manage it?"
When Lan Ziyi heard this, a sharp light crossed his eyes, and he said with a smile:
"Xie Langzhong is right, I have no way to discipline me."
Then he turned to them and said:
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and eat, after eating, go back to the camp to clean up military discipline, Master Xie can't even look at it, how can I do such a thing as a soldier? β
The Tao brothers and the Qiu father and son beside him smiled when they heard this, nodded in agreement, and then let go of their hands and feet to eat meat.
Xie Xuanming immediately reacted that he had said the wrong thing, but how could he come back when he said it.
Xie Xuanming twitched a few times from his face and said:
"Wei Hou has no way to govern the army, what is the use of going back.......
Lan Ziyi interrupted Xie Xuanming and said:
"I will ask the emperor and King De for this matter, of course, I can't stop Lord Xie from reporting this matter to the court, that is Lord Xie's job."
Saying that, Lan Ziyi stopped his chopsticks, raised his head and threw Xie Xuanming a wink.
Xie Xuanming sat at the table with a red face and said:
"The ancestors taught that the town army must not interfere in the affairs of the forbidden army."
ε °εδΉ says:
"I'm the vanguard of the expedition appointed by the imperial court, not the general of the town army."
Xie Xuanming moved his gaze to the Tao family brothers beside Lan Ziyi and said:
"You're not, they are."
Lan Ziyi stuffed his mouth full of things, turned his head to look at the three Lang Jun of the Tao family, and then buried his head in eating, and said:
"Except for General Tao Zhuhu who once served in the Northern Army, the other two did not join the Beizhen Army, even General Zhuhu had been relieved of his military position in Beizhen before entering Beijing, they were all my guards.
Could it be that those born in the north are considered to be the North Town Army? Why didn't Xie Langzhong carefully check how many northerners there were in the forbidden army, and it was best to drive them all away in order to avoid suspicion. β
Now that he has found a breakthrough, Lan Ziyi will not let it go easily, he felt dangerous before entering the door, but now it seems that this meal is really fragrant.
Xie Xuanming's face was red and purple, and he wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.
Lan Ziyi didn't wait for Xie Xuanming to speak, and replied:
"But my Lan Ziyi's identity is there, and I must be careful when I do things.
Since Lord Xie can't get used to my arrangement, I naturally don't dare to make arrangements, and I was worried about the lack of generals in the army, but Lord Xie made up for me, I have to say thank you. β
Xie Xuanming's chess was a bad move, and his words were blocked, and when he heard Lan Ziyi say that he would not insert the Tao brothers into the army again, and would not dismiss the generals he arranged, he didn't say much, and sat on the chair and drank alcohol.
Lan Ziyi took back the initiative, and even took back the military power after a series of fights, just waiting for the meal to hurry back to the camp to clean up the mess.
At this time, Xiong Jingzong suddenly raised his glass and said:
"All the generals are imperial eagle dogs, when the world is a hero, of course Lord Xie and I are not here to eat and drink, now that the thieves are in front of you, what are you going to do?"
After Xiong Jingzong reminded Lan Ziyi like this, he remembered that there was such an important matter,
Now that there is plenty of food and grass and the soldiers are elite, of course it is time to attack,
Lan Ziyi wanted to answer, but after thinking about it, he still stopped his words, and turned to Qi Rongxun,
Qi Rongxun sat on the side and drank alcohol alone, at this time, Lan Ziyi took the lead, and Xiong Jingzong also looked at Qi Rongxun, so that the whole table turned their eyes to Qi Rongxun except for Xuanming.
Qi Rongxun found that the atmosphere was not right, looked up at everyone, then put down the wine glass, cleared his throat and said:
"A few days ago, half of the thieves outside the north gate of Yuzhou have been annihilated, and the losses of our army are acceptable.
In recent days, the scouts have reported that the thieves in the camp are chaotic every day, and they can't stand or retreat.
The foolish people outside the camp have also caused a famine, and they are very weak.
The enemy is weak and I am strong, and the demon thieves are afraid of our artillery, in my opinion, it is time to attack as soon as possible and annihilate the demon thieves in one fell swoop. β
Xiong Jingzong nodded when he listened, and then looked at Lan Ziyi,
Lan Ziyi said everything he thought he should say, and he didn't need to speak again, nodded at Xiong Jingzong, and said:
"What Qi Hou said is extremely true."
Xiong Jingzong stroked his beard and said:
"Since the heroes see the same thing, then let's rest well today and go out of the city tomorrow to destroy the thieves."
Then Xiong Jingzong looked at Xie Xuanming and asked:
"What does Master Xie think?"
Xie Xuanming didn't speak, just filled himself with wine.
Everyone changed their colors and decided on this plan, and everyone was about to leave, when suddenly a garrison ran in outside the door and said:
"Report to your Excellency, the defenders of the city gate have captured the messenger sent by the thieves."
Xie Xuanming put down the wine glass when he listened, and hurriedly asked:
"Thief emissary? Why? β
The garrison replied:
"Please surrender!"
